WLE Week 4

My fourth week at WLE I really analyzed my work environment I usually work in the main office but there is a lobby were the tenants go to go to their homes. It's also a parking lot for the staff to park their cars. And also you can't get into the building without a key or you buzz the person's house that you are trying to go too. It's really secure so that no outsiders come in without permission. We usually lock the main office door and you have to knock to come in. It's really clean and happy. It feels like a waiting room in an hospital. 

WLE Week 3

My third week of WLE a lot of things were breaking such as stoves and refridgators but we're short on staff so we had to order from Lowes and everyone had to help out. The co-workers are very goofy they always are trying to have a good time even if their at work you always see the same people everyday but it's so busy because it's only 10 of them so their usually all over the place. The manager is usually the leader no one else really shows leadership skills I see that the manager keeps everything together. Yes, I see because without her the place would be a mess she holds everything together. 

WLE Week 2

Second week at my WLE I have been mostly organizing everyone's files and purging all the ones where people either moved were evicted or died. The work isn't hard but I don't like doing it I get really tired because it's boring. But I guess it's a skill that I really need if I wanna work in like a law firm or something. I see a lot of the people who live there come in all the time most of the time with complaints about neighbors because it's a very small community. I think I really made a statement because everyone knows me so I feel important. I don't really care if I'm helping my world they're not helping me. 

WLE Week 1

Today was my first day at my WLE. I will be doing my WLE at The Housing Authority on 1750 McAllister basically it's for people with low income to have public housing I actually intern at the manager's office where she manages 4 units family, homeless, and elderly/mental issues. I don't actually know who funds them I would think the city of San Francisco or California. But since the economy is really bad they're short of staff members. They 10 staff members for 10,000 units. So much work doesn't get done as fast as the tenants would want it to be. I think they should give it more money because some of the places look horrible like they took 2 days to build people's homes. There is a lot of things that should change. I think remodeling all the houses would make things run way smoother and hiring more staff because nothing ever gets did with 10 staff members.
